Arrest of Tapas Paul - nothing but vendetta politics of BJP-led Central govt: MamataKolkata, Dec 30 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee

today dared the CBI to arrest all her party leaders, saying the BJP-led Central government was pursuing vendetta politics for leading the anti-demonetisation movement. Reacting to arrest of Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha member Tapas Paul earlier today, Ms Banerjee said she was already in the know who were on the queue of the CBI target. The CBI also summoned Lok Sabha member Sudip Banerjee in connection with Rose Valley scandal. Ms Banerjee told reporters at Nabanna that her MP Sudip Banerjee would surely respond to the CBI summon. Ms Banerjee alleged that the PMO office and BJP office have been dictating the central agencies to harasse the opposition parties for raising issues of the common people like demonetistion of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. " I will be happy if the centre arrest me so that I can have some rest and devote time in writing," Ms Banerjee added. She said their movement would continue against demonetisation “Modi Babu, arrest all my MPs and MLAs if you want. You don't need to summon us. We are ready. But we cannot be deterred,” Ms Banerjee said “We have not forgotten what Centre did during BengalPolls. This is akin to terror of pre-Independence era,” she said The chief minister said, “political vendetta has reached a new low. I will not be surprised if they arrest all our MPs.” TMC supremo said Babul Supriyo and Rupa Ganguly also were associated with Rose Valley She accused BJP is connected to Pearl group chit fund scam worth Rs 50000 Crore “Even Amitabh ji is promoting a state. Many filmstars and cricketers promoted Sahara. Was Centre sleeping? If an actor does a programme on a channel how can he be blamed? Who gave permission for the channel, Ms Banerjee questioned. TMC supremo said PM promised to bring back black money. He has not been able to do so. 50 days of DeMonetisation are over. The country went through a tumultuous situation. Today is the end of Modi ji’s self-set 50-day deadline “ My life is one of struggle. I'm not afraid of them,” Ms Banerjee said. The chief minister said revenues of states have shrunk by 25 per cent.
